1951 Ford F-1 Stepside Flathead V-8 on 2040-cars
South Roxana, Illinois, United States
I'm assisting in selling this truck for a friend of mine. The truck is located at his house in South Roxana, Illinois. Please call him with any questions. Here is his item description:
1951 Ford F-1 Stepside Flathead Ford V-8, 239 or 255 cubic inch, not sure which Still 6v electrical system 3-speed manual transmission Freshly rebuilt starter New oil pan gasket Giving up on this one, just discovered engine is seized Have clear title in my name Buyer arranges and pays for shipping Call with any questions 618-791-2761 On Jul-15-14 at 19:44:25 PDT, seller added the following information: ATTENTION BIDDERS/POTENTIAL BIDDERS, I just talked to my friend Larry on the phone. He has discovered that the title he holds in his name for this truck is one digit off on the VIN. The title states: "1951 Ford Pickup...VIN # F1RDL26781". The VIN on this truck is stamped into the passenger side frame rail, near the radiator, it is clearly stamped F1R1DL26781. I did some research on-line, and the fourth digit of the VIN should be the model year, "1" for '51...so it's definitely a typo on the title. Today, Larry brought this to the attention of his DMV. They gave him all the paperwork required for a title correction to add that number 1 to the fourth VIN position. Larry was also able to get his town's Chief of Police over to his house to perform the required VIN inspection. It may take a few weeks to receive the corrected title, but we aren't positive on that. Of course no money will be expected from the winning bidder, until Larry has the corrected title in hand. Full payment will NOT be due within 7 days of auction end. You'll also notice that no earnest money is due within 48 hrs of auction end. If you are bidding on this truck, and you needed it right away, please accept my apologies and feel free to retract your bid. Please call Larry with any questions, his phone number is listed in the original item description. Thank you, -Owen

2015 Ford Mustang: Obsessively covered [w/videos + poll]
Thu, 05 Dec 2013Here at Autoblog, we've officially stamped December 5, 2013, as Ford Mustang Day. Sure, the sixth-generation Pony Car started leaking out onto the web days ago, but all of the official, non-embargoed hotness has come out today. And man, there's been a lot.
In terms of new car debuts, this is a really big one - not unlike all of the Corvette madness that kicked off the 2013 automotive season. So to make sure you haven't missed anything, here's a wrap-up of everything you need to know about the 2015 Ford Mustang.
Deep Dive: 2015 Ford Mustang
2015 Ford Mustang GT [w/video]
Fri, 19 Sep 2014At 50 years old, the object of fantasies, a tuner's dream, a movie star and more than nine million strong, it couldn't be truer to say that the Ford Mustang needs no introduction. This newest Mustang, however - making the biggest changes we've seen to the pony car since perhaps 1964.5 - is something Ford has been introducing all year.
We went on a Deep Dive, covered the way it looks when it was revealed, detailed the engine specs, got a ride in the EcoBoost and listened to the V8, got rolling footage and watched it do a standard-feature burnout.
The only thing left to do? Drive it. Having now done so for a few hours around Los Angeles, what we can tell you is to forget everything you know about the Mustang. This new car shames the old, redefines the model and gallops far ahead of anything else in the segment.
Ford GT to be revived, Le Mans battle upcoming
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Ford dominated the 24 Hours of Le Mans from 1966 to 1969, scoring four consecutive wins. Wouldn't it be great if the Blue Oval could go back to France for the 50th anniversary of that performance and show it can still compete in international endurance racing? Actually, the latest rumors indicate that could be exactly the case, and the car taking that checkered flag could be another revival of the Ford GT.
As the rumblings go, Ford wants to use a new supercar to take another crack at Le Mans, after considering some other possible alternatives. Substantiating these musings are reports that a Blue Oval rep was reportedly on hand for a recent meeting about 2016 GTE-Class rules, according to Road and Track. That would put the new GT in the same racing class as the Corvette, Ferrari 458 Italia, Porsche 911 and others.
It's not all about racing, though. If you win on Sunday, you want something to be able to sell on Monday. The revived GT is reportedly still a mid-engine supercar, but the exact engine is unclear. It's possible that it could even be shown or announced at the Detroit auto show in January, according to Motor Trend.
